| accumulation of helper component/proteinase and coat protein of turnip mosaic virus in intact plants. | the helper component/proteinase (hc/pro) protein of turnip mosaic virus (tumv) was fused with glutathione s-transferase (gst) and expressed as a fusion protein in escherichia coli. the quality of antiserum raised against the gst-hc/pro fusion protein was compared to that of antiserum raised against coat protein (cp) by image analyser. the result showed that these antisera were of similar quality. then the both antisera were used to follow the time course of accumulation of hc/pro protein and cp ... | 1999 | 10672341 |
| purification and characterization of turnip mosaic virus helper component protein. | abstract the helper component (hc) protein of turnip mosaic virus (tumv) was concentrated by differential centrifugation followed by ammonium sulfate precipitation. the partially purified hc was then loaded onto a ni(2+)-resin column that bound the hc; a histidine tag was not required for binding. the hc eluted from the column migrated as a band of about 50 kda in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. in its native state, the hc did not pass through an ultrafiltration membra ... | 1999 | 18944691 |
| potato virus x amplicons in arabidopsis mediate genetic and epigenetic gene silencing. | amplicon transgenes from potato virus x (pvx) are based on a modified version of the viral genome and are efficient activators of post-transcriptional gene silencing (ptgs). to determine whether pvx amplicons activate ptgs in arabidopsis, we used constructs based on the genome of pvx carrying a green fluorescent protein (gfp) reporter gene. our analysis of the transgene phenotype exploited previous observations indicating that ptgs is associated with short 25-nucleotide rna species, transgene me ... | 2000 | 10715323 |
| molecular cloning, expression, and purification of nuclear inclusion a protease from tobacco vein mottling virus. | the gene encoding the c-terminal protease domain of the nuclear inclusion protein a (nia) of tobacco vein mottling virus (tvmv) was cloned from an isolated virus particle and expressed as a fusion protein with glutathione s-transferase in escherichia coli xl1-blue. the 27-kda protease was purified from the fusion protein by glutathione affinity chromatography and mono s chromatography. the purified protease exhibited the specific proteolytic activity towards the nonapeptide substrates, ac-glu-as ... | 2000 | 10850655 |
| a single chimeric transgene derived from two distinct viruses confers multi-virus resistance in transgenic plants through homology-dependent gene silencing. | we showed previously that 218 and 110 bp n gene segments of tomato spotted wilt virus (tswv) that were fused to the non-target green fluorescent protein (gfp) gene were able to confer resistance to tswv via post-transcriptional gene silencing (ptgs). n gene segments expressed alone did not confer resistance. apparently, the gfp dna induced ptgs that targetted n gene segments and the incoming homologous tswv for degradation, resulting in a resistant phenotype. these observations suggested that mu ... | 2000 | 10900050 |
| cross-reactive and major virus-specific epitopes are located at the n-terminal halves of the cylindrical inclusion proteins of turnip mosaic and zucchini yellow mosaic potyviruses. | to investigate the antigenic nature of cylindrical inclusion proteins (cips) of the potyviruses turnip mosaic virus (tumv) and zucchini yellow mosaic virus (zymv), monoclonal antibodies (mabs) against the two cips were produced and epitopes on the cips were localized using escherichia coli-expressed cip fragments in western blot analysis. all 23 mabs against zymv cip reacted only with zymv cip. in contrast out of the 18 mabs produced against tumv cip, 14 mabs were tumv cip-specific while the rem ... | 2000 | 10963347 |
| the cylindrical inclusion gene of turnip mosaic virus encodes a pathogenic determinant to the brassica resistance gene turb01. | the viral component of turnip mosaic virus (tumv) determining virulence to the brassica napus turb01 dominant resistance allele has been identified. sequence comparisons of an infectious cdna clone of the uk 1 isolate of tumv (avirulent on turb01) and a spontaneous mutant capable of infecting plants possessing turb01 suggested that a single nucleotide change in the cylindrical inclusion (ci) protein coding region (gene) of the virus was responsible for the altered phenotype. a second spontaneous ... | 2000 | 11043471 |
| fluorometric assay of turnip mosaic virus nia protease. | turnip mosaic virus (tumv) nia protease cleaves the viral polyprotein at seven distinct junctions out of nine. the amino acid sequences of the seven cleavage sites have three conserved amino acids, v, h, q in positions p4, p2, p1, respectively. small molecules as well as conjugated peptides were tested for proteolytic activity of the enzyme. none of small molecules tested, such as methylumbelliferyl-p-guanidinobenzoate, p-nitrophenyl-p'-guanidinobenzoate, p-nitrophenyl acetate, and methylumbelli ... | 2000 | 10625510 |
| complex formation between potyvirus vpg and translation eukaryotic initiation factor 4e correlates with virus infectivity. | the interaction between the viral protein linked to the genome (vpg) of turnip mosaic potyvirus (tumv) and the translation eukaryotic initiation factor eif(iso)4e of arabidopsis thaliana has previously been reported. eif(iso)4e binds the cap structure (m(7)gpppn, where n is any nucleotide) of mrnas and has an important role in the regulation in the initiation of translation. in the present study, it was shown that not only did vpg bind eif(iso)4e but it also interacted with the eif4e isomer of a ... | 2000 | 10933678 |
| nickel increases susceptibility of a nickel hyperaccumulator to turnip mosaic virus. | hyperaccumulated ni can defend plant tissues against herbivores and pathogens. the effectiveness of this defense, however, has not been tested with a viral pathogen. turnip mosaic virus (tumv) accumulation was studied in two serpentine species of streptanthus with different ni uptake abilities. plants of a ni hyperaccumulator, milk-wort jewelflower (s. polygaloides gray), and a non-hyperaccumulator, plumed jewelflower (s. insignis jepson), were grown on ni-amended and unamended soils. plants wer ... | 2001 | 11215670 |

| mutations in turnip mosaic virus p3 and cylindrical inclusion proteins are separately required to overcome two brassica napus resistance genes. | the brassica napus differential line 165 is resistant to infection by turnip mosaic virus (tumv) isolates belonging to pathotypes 1 and 3. nucleotide sequences of resistance-breaking mutants of pathotype 1 (uk 1), pathotype 3 (chn 12), and wild-type isolates have been determined. when the mutations identified were introduced into an infectious clone of uk 1, a single mutation in the viral p3 protein induced a hypersensitive (necrotic) response in inoculated leaves of line 165 plants. full system ... | 2002 | 12202205 |
| correlation of viral rna biosynthesis with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity and host resistance. | changes in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (g6p dh; ec 1.1.1.49) activity caused by infection of tobacco ( nicotiana tabacum l.) leaves with potato virus y (pvy), cucumber mosaic virus, potato virus x, tobacco rattle virus and turnip mosaic virus, the subcellular localisation of g6p dh isozymes in mesophyll protoplasts derived from healthy and pvy-infected tobacco leaves, as well as g6p dh control and the relationship of its isozymes with the degree of tobacco resistance to pvy multiplication, ... | 2002 | 12244453 |
| potyviruses, novel and known, in cultivated and wild species of the family apiaceae in australia. | three potyviruses were identified by gene sequencing and found to be widespread in species of apiaceae in australia. only celery mosaic virus was found in celery crops and in one of 180 specimens of feral carrot ( daucus carota). another related but distinct novel potyvirus, carrot virus y, was the only virus found in carrot crops and all except one feral carrot. a more distantly related novel potyvirus, apium virus y, was found in plants of sea celery ( apium prostratum), cultivated parsley ( p ... | 2002 | 12376749 |
| zantedeschia mosaic virus causing leaf mosaic symptom in calla lily is a new potyvirus. | anovel virus, zantedeschia mosaic virus (zamv-kr), causing mosaic and malformation symptoms was isolated from calla lily ( zantedeschia spp.) in korea and its biological and molecular properties were characterized. the virus was distinct from dasheen mosaic virus, an araceae-infecting potyvirus, by serological and sequence analyses. multiple alignments of the cp amino acid sequence between the virus and other potyviruses showed 51.8 to 62.1% identity. phylogenetic analyses of the cp revealed tha ... | 2002 | 12491097 |
| the arabidopsis eukaryotic initiation factor (iso)4e is dispensable for plant growth but required for susceptibility to potyviruses. | an arabidopsis thaliana line bearing a transposon insertion in the gene coding for the isozyme form of the plant-specific cap-binding protein, eukaryotic initiation factor (iso) 4e (eif (iso) 4e), has been isolated. this mutant line completely lacks both eif(iso)4e mrna and protein, but was found to have a phenotype and fertility indistinguishable from wild-type plants under standard laboratory conditions. in contrast, the amount of the related eif4e protein was found to increase in seedling ext ... | 2002 | 12492835 |
| involvement of beet western yellows virus, cauliflower mosaic virus, and turnip mosaic virus in internal disorders of stored white cabbage. | abstract experiments over two growing seasons clearly showed that turnip mosaic virus (tumv) infection was associated with internal necrosis (sunken necrotic spots 5 to 10 mm in diameter) and beet western yellows virus (bwyv) infection was associated with collapse of leaf tissue at the margins (tipburn) in heads of stored white cabbage (brassica oleracea var. capitata). virtually no tipburn was seen in cv. polinius, whereas cv. impala was affected severely. internal necrotic spots were seen in b ... | 2002 | 18942959 |
| turnip mosaic virus and the quest for durable resistance. | summary taxonomy: turnip mosaic virus (tumv) is a member of the genus potyvirus (type species potato virus y) in the family potyviridae. to date, tumv is the only potyvirus known to infect brassicas. there are potyvirus isolates that appear serologically similar to tumv when tested with polyclonal antisera that do not readily infect brassicas (lesemann and vetten, 1985). physical properties: virions are approximately 720 x 15-20 nm flexuous rods (fig. 1) and are composed of 95% coat protein (cp) ... | 2002 | 20569337 |
| p1/hc-pro, a viral suppressor of rna silencing, interferes with arabidopsis development and mirna unction. | the molecular basis for virus-induced disease in plants has been a long-standing mystery. infection of arabidopsis by turnip mosaic virus (tumv) induces a number of developmental defects in vegetative and reproductive organs. we found that these defects, many of which resemble those in mirna-deficient dicer-like1 (dcl1) mutants, were due to the tumv-encoded rna-silencing suppressor, p1/hc-pro. suppression of rna silencing is a counterdefensive mechanism that enables systemic infection by tumv. t ... | 2003 | 12586064 |
| strains of turnip mosaic potyvirus as defined by the molecular analysis of the coat protein gene of the virus. | turnip mosaic virus (tumv) is a member of the potyvirus genus with a wide host range and highly variable in its biological characteristics. analysis of the cp gene sequences from databases, combined with the experimental analysis of the cp gene of further isolates, using data derived from sequence or restriction analysis, has allowed the genetic classification of 60 tumv isolates or sequences. two main genetic clusters mb (mostly brassica isolates) and mr (mostly radish isolates) were found, tog ... | 2003 | 12837555 |
| the phylogeny of turnip mosaic virus; comparisons of 38 genomic sequences reveal a eurasian origin and a recent 'emergence' in east asia. | the genomes of a representative world-wide collection of 32 turnip mosaic virus (tumv) isolates were sequenced and these, together with six previously reported sequences, were analysed. at least one-fifth of the sequences were recombinant. in phylogenetic analyses, using genomic sequences of japanese yam mosaic virus as an outgroup, the tumv sequences that did not show clear recombination formed a monophyletic group with four well-supported lineages. these groupings correlated with differences i ... | 2003 | 12859632 |
| genetic mapping of the novel turnip mosaic virus resistance gene turb03 in brassica napus. | a new source of resistance to the pathotype 4 isolate of turnip mosaic virus (tumv) cdn 1 has been identified in brassica napus (oilseed rape). analysis of segregation of resistance to tumv isolate cdn 1 in a backcross generation following a cross between a resistant and a susceptible b. napus line showed that the resistance was dominant and monogenic. molecular markers linked to this dominant resistance were identified using amplified fragment length polymorphism (aflp) and microsatellite bulk ... | 2003 | 12904865 |
| the dual role of the potyvirus p3 protein of turnip mosaic virus as a symptom and avirulence determinant in brassicas. | two isolates of the potyvirus turnip mosaic virus (tumv), uk 1 and cdn 1, differ both in their general symptoms on the susceptible propagation host brassica juncea and in their ability to infect b. napus lines possessing a variety of dominant resistance genes. the isolate cdn 1 produces a more extreme mosaic in infected brassica leaves than uk 1 and is able to overcome the resistance genes turb01, turb04, and turb05. the resistance gene turb03, in the b. napus line 22s, is effective against cdn ... | 2003 | 12971601 |
| a cysteine-rich plant protein potentiates potyvirus movement through an interaction with the virus genome-linked protein vpg. | we have identified a cellular factor that interacts with the virus genome-linked proteins (vpgs) of a diverse range of potyviruses. the factor, called potyvirus vpg-interacting protein (pvip), is a plant-specific protein with homologues in all the species examined, i.e., pea, arabidopsis thaliana, and nicotiana benthamiana. the sequence of pvip does not identify a specific function, although the existence of a "phd finger" domain may implicate the protein in transcriptional control through chrom ... | 2004 | 14963126 |
| interaction of vpg-pro of turnip mosaic virus with the translation initiation factor 4e and the poly(a)-binding protein in planta. | the viral protein linked to the genome (vpg) of turnip mosaic virus (tumv) interacts in vitro with the translation eukaryotic initiation factor (eif) 4e. in the present study, we investigated the consequence of tumv infection on eif4e expression. two isomers are present in plants, namely eif4e and eif(iso)4e. expression of the latter was detected in both tumv-infected and mock-inoculated brassica perviridis plants, but expression of eif4e was found only in infected plants. membranes from tumv-in ... | 2004 | 15039548 |
| functional replacement of wheat streak mosaic virus hc-pro with the corresponding cistron from a diverse array of viruses in the family potyviridae. | helper component-proteinase (hc-pro) of wheat streak mosaic virus strain sidney 81 (wsmv-sidney 81) was systematically replaced with the corresponding cistron derived from four strains of wsmv (type, tk1, cz, and el batán 3), the tritimovirus oat necrotic mottle virus (onmv), the rymoviruses agropyron mosaic virus (agmv) and hordeum mosaic virus (homv), or the potyviruses tobacco etch virus (tev) and turnip mosaic virus (tumv). these hc-pro proteins varied in amino acid sequence identity shared ... | 2004 | 15193921 |
| an important determinant of the ability of turnip mosaic virus to infect brassica spp. and/or raphanus sativus is in its p3 protein. | turnip mosaic virus (tumv, genus potyvirus, family potyviridae) infects mainly cruciferous plants. isolates tu-3 and tu-2r1 of tumv exhibit different infection phenotypes in cabbage (brassica oleracea l.) and japanese radish (raphanus sativus l.). infectious full-length cdna clones, ptuc and ptur1, were constructed from isolates tu-3 and tu-2r1, respectively. progeny virus derived from infections with ptuc induced systemic chlorotic and ringspot symptoms in infected cabbage, but no systemic infe ... | 2004 | 15218194 |
| inter- and intralineage recombinants are common in natural populations of turnip mosaic virus. | a recombination map of the genome of turnip mosaic virus (tumv) was assembled using data from 19 complete genomic sequences, previously reported, and a composite sample of three regions of the genome, one-third in total, of a representative asia-wide collection of 70 isolates. thus, a total of 89 isolates of worldwide origin was analysed for recombinants. eighteen recombination sites were found spaced throughout the 5' two-thirds of the genome, but there were only two in the 3' one-third; thus, ... | 2004 | 15302962 |
| fine genetic mapping of the tuni locus causing systemic veinal necrosis by turnip mosaic virus infection in arabidopsis thaliana. | in the pathosystem of turnip mosaic virus (tumv) and arabidopsis thaliana, two distinct symptoms (mosaic symptom and veinal necrosis) were observed that were dependent upon the combination of the tumv isolate and the arabidopsis ecotype. the col-0 ecotype developed mosaic symptoms after infection with the tumv isolate azu while the ler ecotype developed veinal necrosis after infection with the same tumv isolate. the ler phenotype is controlled by a single dominant gene tuni (tumv necrosis induce ... | 2004 | 15517145 |
| vpegamma exhibits a caspase-like activity that contributes to defense against pathogens. | caspases are a family of aspartate-specific cysteine proteases that play an essential role in initiating and executing programmed cell death (pcd) in metazoans. caspase-like activities have been shown to be required for the initiation of pcd in plants, but the genes encoding those activities have not been identified. vpegamma, a cysteine protease, is induced during senescence, a form of pcd in plants, and is localized in precursor protease vesicles and vacuoles, compartments associated with pcd ... | 2004 | 15530390 |
| [accumulation of coat protein of turnip mosaic virus in host chloroplasts and its effect on ps ii activity]. | intact chloroplasts were isolated from chinese cabbage (brassica chinensis l. cv. suzhou) and mustard (b. juncea l. cv. wenzhou) leaves inoculated with turnip mosaic virus (tumv). the proteins attached to the surface of chloroplasts were digested, then the total proteins of chloroplasts were extracted. by analysis of the sds-page pattern, one extra protein band with the same mobility and molecular weight as tumv-coat protein was found in the chloroplasts of infected leaves. results of western bl ... | 2004 | 15583406 |
| comparisons of the genetic structure of populations of turnip mosaic virus in west and east eurasia. | the genetic structure of populations of turnip mosaic virus in eurasia was assessed by making host range and gene sequence comparisons of 142 isolates. most isolates collected in west eurasia infected brassica plants whereas those from east eurasia infected both brassica and raphanus plants. analyses of recombination sites (rss) in five regions of the genome (one third of the full sequence) showed that the protein 1 (p1 gene) had recombined more frequently than the other gene regions in both sub ... | 2004 | 15567435 |
| rna silencing of the introduced coat protein gene of turnip mosaic virus confers broad-spectrum resistance in transgenic arabidopsis. | abstract the coat protein (cp) gene derived from turnip mosaic virus (tumv) isolate jo was introduced into arabidopsis thaliana and the resulting transgenic progenies were analyzed for resistance to tumv. transgenic arabidopsis plants with no detectable transcripts of the introduced cp gene exhibited complete resistance to tumv. there was no significant correlation between the resistance and the copy number of the transgene. instead, small interfering rnas (sirnas) were detected in these resista ... | 2004 | 18943905 |
| mutations in turnip mosaic virus genomes that have adapted to raphanus sativus. | the genetic basis for virulence in potyviruses is largely unknown. earlier studies showed that there are two host types of turnip mosaic virus (tumv); the brassica/raphanus (br)-host type infects both brassica and raphanus systemically, whereas the brassica (b)-host type infects brassica fully and systemically, but not raphanus. the genetic basis of this difference has been explored by using the progeny of an infectious clone, p35tunos; this clone is derived from the uk1 isolate, which is of the ... | 2005 | 15659771 |
| selective involvement of members of the eukaryotic initiation factor 4e family in the infection of arabidopsis thaliana by potyviruses. | arabidopsis thaliana plants with mutations in the genes encoding eukaryotic initiation factor (eif4e) or isoform of eif4e (eif(iso)4e) were tested for susceptibility to clover yellow vein virus (clyvv), a member of the genus potyvirus. clyvv accumulated in both inoculated and upper uninoculated leaves of mutant plants lacking eif(iso)4e, but not in mutant plants lacking eif4e. in contrast, turnip mosaic virus (tumv), another member of the genus potyvirus, multiplied in mutant plants lacking eif4 ... | 2005 | 15710407 |
| a simplified method for obtaining plant viral rna for rt-pcr. | an easy and fast procedure (named the simple-direct-tube (sdt) method) was developed for preparing plant virus rna for cdna synthesis. the sdt method can be completed in approximately 15min and does not require the use of antiserum, filtering or centrifugation. the procedure to grind plant tissues in phosphate-buffered saline containing tween-20 (pbst) and to place the extract in a microfuge tube for a few minutes allow adsorption of the virus particles to the tube wall. the sap is then removed ... | 2005 | 15737418 |
| [distribution of rubisco and rca in brassica chinensis chloroplasts and effect of tumv-infection on their cellular localization]. | the cellular localizations of rubisco and rubisco activase (rca) in chinese cabbage (brassica chinensis l. cv. suzhou) leaves were investigated by immunogold-labeling electron microscopy. the results showed that rubisco and rca were mainly located in chloroplasts of mesophyll, guard cell of stomatal apparatus and parenchyma of vascular bundle. a high density of gold particles were localized preferentially to the chloroplast stroma. in contrast, there were no specific binding of gold particles de ... | 2005 | 15839204 |
| plant virus hc-pro is a determinant of eriophyid mite transmission. | the eriophyid mite transmitted wheat streak mosaic virus (wsmv; genus tritimovirus, family potyviridae) shares a common genome organization with aphid transmitted species of the genus potyvirus. although both tritimoviruses and potyviruses encode helper component-proteinase (hc-pro) homologues (required for nonpersistent aphid transmission of potyviruses), sequence conservation is low (amino acid identity, approximately 16%), and a role for hc-pro in semipersistent transmission of wsmv by the wh ... | 2005 | 15994799 |
| simultaneous production of two foreign proteins from a polyvirus-based vector. | with the aim of developing a biotechnological tool for the production of foreign proteins in plants, we first engineered an infectious turnip mosaic virus (tumv) cdna that contained the jellyfish green fluorescent protein (gfp) gene or the bacterial beta-glucuronidase (gus) gene (uida). two insertion sites were assessed, either between p1 and hcpro cistrons or pol and cp cistrons. in each construct, the junctions flanking the inserted gene coded for p1 and/or vpg-pro cleavage recognition site se ... | 2005 | 16022896 |
| tiered tests to assess the environmental risk of fitness changes in hybrids between transgenic crops and wild relatives: the example of virus resistant brassica napus. | over the last 20 years, there has been much research aimed at improving environmental risk assessment of transgenic crops. despite large amounts of data, decisions to allow or prohibit the release of transgenic crops remain confused and controversial. we argue that part of the reason for confusion is the lack of clear definitions of components of the environment that should be protected, and, as a consequence, there is no way to judge the relevance of data collected under the auspices of 'enviro ... | 2005 | 16634220 |
| aphid transmission of a potyvirus depends on suitability of the helper component and the n terminus of the coat protein. | the present study investigates the specificity of potyviruses for aphid species. two potyviruses differing in their host range were used: zucchini yellow mosaic virus (zymv) mainly infecting cucurbits and turnip mosaic virus (tumv) mainly infecting crucifers. two sets of aphids species were used as vectors, one polyphagous (myzus persicae and aphis gossypii) and the other from crucifers (brevicoryne brassicae and lipaphis erysimi). evidence is provided that the specificity between a vector and a ... | 2005 | 15503223 |
| the vpgpro protein of turnip mosaic virus: in vitro inhibition of translation from a ribonuclease activity. | a role for viral encoded genome-linked (vpg) proteins in translation has often been suggested because of their covalent attachment to the 5' end of the viral rna, reminiscent of the cap structure normally present on most eukaryotic mrnas. we tested the effect of turnip mosaic virus (tumv) vpgpro on translation of reporter rnas in in vitro translation systems. the presence of vpgpro in either wheat germ extract or rabbit reticulocyte lysate systems lead to inhibition of translation. the inhibitio ... | 2006 | 16647732 |
| a simplified method for cloning of short interfering rnas from brassica juncea infected with turnip mosaic potyvirus and turnip crinkle carmovirus. | rna silencing is a plant defense mechanism in which virus infected plants produce short interfering rnas (sirnas) derived from viral rna, that attack the virus at the post-transcriptional level. in a previous study on cymbidium ringspot tombusvirus (cymrsv) infection in nicotiana benthamiana, sirnas (determined by cloning and sequencing) predominantly originated from the sense (+) strand of the viral rna, suggesting that the majority of sirnas are produced through the direct cleavage of the viru ... | 2006 | 16815561 |
| interaction of genome-linked protein (vpg) of turnip mosaic virus with wheat germ translation initiation factors eifiso4e and eifiso4f. | the interaction between vpg of turnip mosaic virus and wheat germ eukaryotic translation initiation factors eifiso4e and eifiso4f (the complex of eifiso4e and eifiso4g) were measured and compared. the fluorescence quenching data showed the presence of one binding site on eifiso4e for vpg. scatchard analysis revealed the binding affinity (k(a)) and average binding sites (n) for vpg were (8.51 +/- 0.21) x 10(6) m(-1) and 1.0, respectively. the addition of eifiso4g to the eifiso4e increased the bin ... | 2006 | 16880203 |
| down-regulation of the 26s proteasome subunit rpn9 inhibits viral systemic transport and alters plant vascular development. | plant viruses utilize the vascular system for systemic movement. the plant vascular network also transports water, photosynthates, and signaling molecules and is essential for plant growth. however, the molecular mechanisms governing vascular development and patterning are still largely unknown. from viral transport suppressor screening using virus-induced gene silencing, we identified a 26s proteasome subunit, rpn9, which is required for broad-spectrum viral systemic transport. silencing of rpn ... | 2006 | 16905670 |
| expression of artificial micrornas in transgenic arabidopsis thaliana confers virus resistance. | plant micrornas (mirnas) regulate the abundance of target mrnas by guiding their cleavage at the sequence complementary region. we have modified an arabidopsis thaliana mir159 precursor to express artificial mirnas (amirnas) targeting viral mrna sequences encoding two gene silencing suppressors, p69 of turnip yellow mosaic virus (tymv) and hc-pro of turnip mosaic virus (tumv). production of these amirnas requires a. thaliana dicer-like protein 1. transgenic a. thaliana plants expressing amir-p69 ... | 2006 | 17057702 |
| binding analyses for the interaction between plant virus genome-linked protein (vpg) and plant translational initiation factors. | the turnip mosaic virus (tumv) genome-linked protein (vpg) and arabidopsis thaliana translation initiation factors were expressed and purified in order to investigate their binding properties and kinetics. affinity chromatography on m(7)gtp-sepharose showed that bound a. thaliana eif(iso)4e was eluted with crude tumv vpg. further column studies with purified vpg and other a. thaliana eif4e isoforms showed that vpg preferentially bound eif(iso)4e. structural data implicate trp-46 and trp-92 in ei ... | 2006 | 16300873 |
| konjak mosaic virus: the complete nucleotide sequence of the genomic rna and its comparison with other potyviruses. | konjak mosaic virus (komv) belongs to the genus potyvirus, family potyviridae. the complete nucleotide sequence of komv f isolate (komv f) was determined. the genome is 9,544 nucleotides long excluding the 3' terminal poly a tail and encodes a typical potyviral 350-kda polyprotein of 3,087 amino acids. phylogenetic analysis using known potyvirus polyproteins shows that komv constitutes a branch with yam mosaic virus, close to another branch including japanese yam mosaic virus, turnip mosaic viru ... | 2006 | 16538420 |
| a phylogeographical study of the turnip mosaic virus population in east asia reveals an 'emergent' lineage in japan. | the genetic structure of populations of turnip mosaic virus (tumv) in east asia was assessed by making host range and gene sequence comparisons of 118 isolates utilizing a population genetic approach. most, but not all, isolates collected from brassica plants in china infected only brassica plants, whereas those from japan infected both brassica and raphanus (br) plants. analyses of the positions of recombination sites in five regions of the genomes (one third of the full sequence) of the many r ... | 2006 | 17107475 |
| patterns of recombination in turnip mosaic virus genomic sequences indicate hotspots of recombination. | potyviruses have variable single-stranded rna genomes and many show clear evidence of recombination. this report studied the distribution of recombination sites in the genomes of 92 isolates of the potyvirus turnip mosaic virus (tumv); 42 came from the international gene sequence databases and an additional 50 complete genomic sequences were generated from field samples collected in europe and asia. the sequences were examined for evidence of recombination using seven different sequence comparis ... | 2007 | 17170463 |
